Curriculum Vitae

Thomas Scharrenbach received his Vordiplom (~BSc) in computer science from the University of Bonn in 2001 where he studied computer science with a focus on computer vision, pattern recognition and photogrammetry. In 2003 he changed to RWTH Aachen with specialization in speech recognition and natural language processing. He received his Diploma (~MSc) from RWTH Aachen in 2005. Afterwards he worked In the area of minerals processing and recycling at RWTH Aachen where he performed research on multi-sensor-sorting of resources. From 2008 to now he is a PhD student at the Swiss Federal Institute for forest, snow and landscape research (WSL). During that time he was associated with the Dynamic and Distributed Information Systems (DDIS) group headed by Prof. Abraham Bernstein at the University of Zurich (UZH) which he joined in early 2011 as a research assistant.
